Acoustic heartbreak from one of alt-pop’s most intimate new voices; amilost release new acoustic EP Live from Fish Factory Studios Released February 13th via Icons Creating Evil Art

London-based Norwegian–Scottish duo amilost unveil Live from Fish Factory Studios on February 13th — a deeply intimate acoustic EP that revisits the emotional core of their acclaimed release Chapters of a Heartbreak. The five-track collection strips away cinematic production and electronic textures, returning the songs to the fragile space in which they were first written. Recorded live at Fish Factory Studios, the EP captures amilost in their most exposed and essential form.

Across the past months, the duo have gradually introduced this acoustic chapter with the releases of Acoustic Versions of Tiny War, Bloom, and Afterthought — each revealing new dimensions of songs that originally resonated through layered alt-pop arrangements. With the full EP, the story feels complete.

Originally written during the emotional process that became Chapters of a Heartbreak, these songs trace the arc of loss, longing, healing, and self-reclamation. The acoustic renditions bring the listener closer to that moment of origin — before polish, before production — when voice and lyric carried the full weight of feeling.

“Stripping the songs back felt like returning to where everything began,” the duo explain. “These versions are closer to how they were written — just us, the melody, and the emotion.”

Where Chapters of a Heartbreak blended Nordic melancholy with cinematic British pop, Live from Fish Factory Studios leans into stillness and presence. The performances foreground Sigrid Zeiner’s crystalline, emotionally direct vocals, supported by Ross Craib’s restrained arrangements that allow space, breath, and silence to become part of the storytelling. The EP stands not as a reinterpretation, but as a companion piece — a quiet afterword to a chapter that connected deeply with listeners across streaming platforms and social media, where amilost’s songs have found millions of ears through their unguarded honesty.

Blending Scandinavian emotional precision with understated British introspection, amilost continue to establish themselves as one of alternative pop’s most compelling emerging voices. Live from Fish Factory Studios is both a closing gesture and a bridge — honoring where the songs came from, while quietly signaling what may come next.
